Welcome to Jackson County

Welcome to Jackson County... Down South in Illinois!

Whether you’re looking for fine local wine, great antiques, interesting museums, one-of-a-kind-art, hunting, fishing, boating, biking, hiking, birdwatching…. Jackson County is the place to visit. Historically speaking, Jackson County, named for Andrew Jackson, celebrates its bicentennial in 2016. In addition the Illinois Legislature just named Murphysboro, the county seat, the “Barbecue Capital of Illinois” to honor its award winning pitmasters and fantastic restaurants. Murphysboro is the birthplace of Civil War General John A. Logan, founder of Memorial Day as a national holiday. He also took part when Jackson County observed one of the nation’s earliest Memorials, at Carbondale’s Woodlawn Cemetery in 1866. Carbondale, the home of Southern Illinois University [SIUC] and the Salukis, is the county’s most populous city. SIU, and many local groups, offer a continually changing selection of theater, music, museum shows, films and lectures. Smaller communities including Ava, Grand Tower and Makanda add to the mix of local orchards, vineyards and wineries, craft breweries, unique shops and locally owned restaurants. Lodging includes hotels, cabins and bed and breakfasts, and the Shawnee National Forest, Kinkaid Lake and Murphysboro Lake offer plenty of campsites. Welcome to Jackson County! We’re Down South in Illinois!

Enjoy your visit, Mike Jones, President Dowell

2016 Jackson County Visitor Guide 5 John A. Logan (1826-1886)

1849-1851

Biographer Gary Ecelbarger writes that John A. Logan is the most noteworthy 19th century American to go unnoticed in the 20th and 21st centuries. He is also the most famous individual born in Jackson County in the two centuries since its creation. John A. Logan was born in 1826 to Dr. John and Elizabeth (Jenkins) Logan in what is now Murphysboro. He entered local politics as a Democrat in 1848. Illinois state representative Logan sponsored the passage of harsh “Black Codes” barring African Americans from residing in Illinois and helped defeat a bill allowing blacks to testify in court. From 1858 to 1861 U.S. Representative Logan supported the Fugitive Slave Act. 1865

Logan may have been the South’s best Northern friend in Congress but, as he wrote a friend as the Civil War began, he was no secessionist. Logan raised a regiment and according to Ulysses Grant saved Southern Illinois for the Union. He promised, however, that if Lincoln freed the slaves he would lead his men back home. He rose in rank from colonel to Maj. General and is considered by many historians to be the best of the North’s volunteer generals. The war changed Logan’s raciest views and before its end he supported the Emancipation Proclamation, gave pro Union speeches and supported Lincoln’s re-election. Abe was forced to forgive Logan “for all the wrong he ever did”, and knowing Logan, “for all he will do hereafter.” 1880s

After the war Logan returned to Carbondale where he had lived since 1862. He reentered Congress as a Republican campaigning for the passage of the 14th and 15th Amendments and working to assure the equal treatment of America’s former slaves. Elected Senator in 1870 he continued his fight for African American Civil Rights. This work brought Frederick Douglas, who believed Logan had the “backbone” to protect the rights of America’s black citizens, to support him for president in 1884. Logan received the v-p nomination but the Republican ticket lost the election.

Logan died in Washington DC on December 26, 1886 and was the seventh person to lie in state in the Rotunda of the U. S. Capitol. He is buried in Soldiers and Airmen’s Cemetery in Washington. After his death, Logan was honored by statues in Washington, D.C.’s Logan Circle, Chicago’s Grant Park, Vicksburg, Mississippi’s National Military Park and Murphysboro. Logan took part when Carbondale observed Illinois’ first Memorial Day in Woodlawn Cemetery on April 29, 1866. Two years later, as Commander in Chief of the GAR, he established Memorial Day as a national holiday. This is John A. Logan’s greatest legacy and bronze plaques across the United States honor him for deed.

Serving as the western anchor for the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail, the bluffs of Jackson County play host a handful of esteemed and regionally recognized wineries, including Blue Sky Vineyard in Makanda and Kite Hill in Carbondale. Beginning in 2009, beer joined them with the opening of Big Muddy Brewing — the first brewery in Murphysboro in more than 50 years. Soon to follow was the addition of craft beer to Von Jacob Vineyard’s drink menu; Scratch Brewery and Little Egypt Beer, both in Ava; and Owl Creek Vineyard’s addition of craft ciders. More recently, Abbey Ridge Brewery and Tap Room opened its doors in Pomona in 2014. Also, Grand River Distillery has set up shop in Carbondale, adding locally produced brandy, whiskey and other spirits into the local mix. With all this variety, Jackson County truly is the best place to raise a glass.
